JOR LUTY:

Letter found in the meeting house at Un Long.

Your letter received & contents noted. A strong force must be posted at Taipo in order to resist with our

full force. The two posts at Castle Peak & Sha Kong should have many flags flying in order to mislead the enemy. A force

of the stronger men of your district should be detached to

take part in the engagement. Sixty per cent should be retained

for self protection. If troops arrive from Ngan Tin they should

all be sent to Taipo. Let there be no indecision in the matter.

To these points (Castle Peak and Sha Kong) none of the enemy

will ever go. We must devote our individual attention to Taipo.
